Today's world is hellbent on building a system that thrives on the ideal that more is better. So, rather than have a world of small communities where all work for the benefit of all within while sharing rather than building personal material gain, we continue to put forward the idea of pushing...

All of mankind since the Garden has put themselves under the curse of self, self interest, self determination, etc. Each of us, regardless of upbringing, will follow our animal nature which is of course to look out for self first to survive. Man has simply by personal choice decided to take this...

We are all slaves to the world we have made in our own image, an image that is self serving. All of our woes are based on this. The whole purpose of God's teachings is to set us free from our nature of self interest which often seeks personal gain at the expense of others, and set us on the path...

In today's world (and previously) the whole idea for those seeking dominance has always been to control the narrative. This however is of a global matter for the first time, not nationalistic in nature as in the past. When you consider that today Corporatism (the ultimate globalism/Babel/one...

Those familiar with the Gospel of the Kingdom versus the world of man know the outcome. Spoiler alert, the good guys win but not at the hand of man. We are incapable of defeating ourselves. One does not need a book to tell them that however. It has been obvious since the beginning of this...

Christians often speak of using correction to guide their fellow Christians. Tell Christians that they have been misled since the beginnings of the Gentile church (even using the Gospel of the Kingdom to verify it) and see how quick those who claim to love the Lord turn on you. Reality is that...

Institutional Christianity became a false teacher the moment it was formed. In doing so, it became like any other institution or government where power and control (according to mankind's thinking) must be maintained over the followers in order to rule, thrive and prosper. Some sects even chose...

We come from dust and return to dust, so what is it that is left? Attitude. God has no need to love or hate a body, yet most people see themselves as just that in identifying themselves as persons. It is like asking someone who they are and they say a doctor. That doesn't answer the question...

Most people are brainwashed before they even get into religion. We are trained since birth to operate in the society around us. If that means allegiance to that society, we are already lost. For we have been trained to follow the narrative of man, thus seeing everything including God through...

Mankind is like a work in self determining progress. A species that decides for itself whether to be fruitful or a thorn in the side of all. That self determination is key to continuing existence in a plan beyond our scope of understanding, but entirely logical in this present state of being. By...

People often say religion influences secular government or even the other way around. Regardless, perhaps it is a human aspect which leads both down a similar path. For instance, we know from history that nations and empires are doomed from the beginning. Let me use the USA to make a point as...

The earliest Christians were already part of a religion, the Jewish one. What they taught was not that particular religion, but an addenda. They, as part of that addenda, only taught the Gospel of the Kingdom and a way of life to be lived. Both ran contrary to the traditional ways of man. They...

An institution built in the tradition of man is no source of truth regardless of religious standing. Claiming to represent God and doing the will of God are two separate things. The scripture in the Bible did not abandon the Kingdom of God, but the gentile religion of man did. Jesus said truth...

As we know, God's ways are not mankind's ways, so it does seem to me that if Jesus brought us a counter-culture, that is to say ways contrary to the traditional ways of man, then His church would not resemble the traditional ways, institutions and governments complete with king gods that went...

Jesus teaches us about and starts a way of life modelled on the Kingdom of God, not on the kingdoms and institutions of man. Some even called it the Way, setting it apart from tradition. Hmmm... what would the Adversary do? Oh I know! Take that way of life and institutionalize it in the same way...

Christians like to narrow things down, yet confuse issues. Just as many like to reject the notion of taking personal responsibility for our actions and instead blame everything on an evil angel, Christian mankind also narrows down blame, for instance that the Jews rejected Jesus (God) to protect...

In talking to the Apostles and disciples in the Olive Garden (the mount, not the restaurant) Jesus spoke of caring for each other including our enemies, just as He cared for us and as we would hope others would care for us. A final of two previous commandments which basically said, put the will...

What has happened to society? How in the last 50 years have we lost sight of true values? It's not just morals that have changed or how responsibilities have turned into rights. My point is, isn't it amazing how people seem to have forgotten the real meaning of words such as community or...

Institution builders are no different than those who build financial empires today. Gentile Christianity had become the beginnings of Corporatism where sects were absorbed or removed as the institution grew, eventually reaching power status when it merged with the Roman Empire as a power and...

The Bible as we know it is nothing but a compilation of biographies, letters, history and teachings... manuscripts especially of the New Testament that the people in the first century lived through and were a part of, and were aware of them as having been written as individual uncompiled...
